Grounding Ginger, Jujube & Longan Red Tea

This is a deeply warming, grounding blend designed to settle the nervous system and bring your awareness back to your body.

What you will need (for a medium-to-large teapot):

• 3-5g loose leaf red tea (You can beautifully replace this with 1-2 English Breakfast tea bags)

• 5 slices of fresh ginger

• 3 Jujube red dates (pits gently removed)

• 5-6 dried longan fruits

The Ritual:

1. Place the fresh ginger slices and pitted jujube dates into your teapot.

2. Pour freshly boiled water to fill about one-third of the pot, just enough to cover the ingredients.

3. Allow them to slowly brew and release their natural warmth for 15–20 minutes.

4. Add the red tea (or tea bags) and the dried longan fruits.

5. Fill the remainder of the teapot with hot water and let everything steep together for a final 3–5 minutes.

6. Pour slowly, breathe in the sweet aroma, and enjoy.

Where to find the ingredients: You can easily find Jujube Red Dates and Dried Longan at most East Asian supermarkets on Mill Road in Cambridge and Ely. Alternatively, you can order them online:
